Streaming platforms in China

iQIYI, owned by Baidu, is one of China’s three dominant streaming platforms, but outside Asia it serves a narrower purpose: giving international viewers legal access to C-dramas, wuxia series and variety formats that almost never reach Western catalogues. Subtitles arrive in English quickly, plus Spanish and major Asian languages. The global service, branded iQ.com, operates under a freemium model with two paid tiers.

DAZN is a sports-first streaming service built to compete with traditional pay-TV sports channels. The schedule shifts dramatically from country to country: in Germany it carries the Bundesliga and Champions League matches, in Italy it owns the majority of Serie A, in Japan it runs baseball and boxing. The global side of DAZN remains its combat sports division, where it has become one of the biggest buyers of marquee boxing pay-per-view events.

EuroLeague TV is the official streaming home of European basketball, operated by the league itself through Euroleague Ventures, an IMG partnership run out of Barcelona. The service carries every Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and BKT EuroCup game live and on demand, plus a deep archive of classic encounters and a round-the-clock EL 24/7 channel. There are some hard limits to know about. Coverage is fully blacked out in Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada, where FloSports holds North American rights. German club matches air on a delay, with MagentaSport carrying them live, and France got the platform back as the primary route in March 2026. Access comes as an annual Season Pass.

FIAWEC+ is the official streaming home of the FIA World Endurance Championship, the global stage for long-distance motorsport. It is run jointly by the championship and the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the ACO in Le Mans, France, which means the feeds come straight from the people behind the racing. The service carries every WEC session and the complete 24 Hours of Le Mans, with onboard cameras, Live Timing Pro and a multi-season archive on top. You also get WEC Originals and the behind-the-scenes WEC Insider documentaries, all in crisp 1080p HD. There is no built-in smart-TV app, but Chromecast and AirPlay push it to the big screen.

MotoGP VideoPass is the official streaming service of the road racing world championship, operated by Dorna Sports (renamed MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group in 2026, majority-owned by Liberty Media and headquartered in Madrid). It carries every MotoGP, Moto2, Moto3 and MotoE session live, from practice and qualifying through sprints to the races themselves, across all 22 Grands Prix of the 2026 season. A six-angle Multifeed lets you switch between camera views, including onboard shots, while Multiview stacks several feeds on one screen and a deep archive reaches back to 1992. Everything streams in 1080p on the web, mobiles, tablets, and the major connected-TV platforms.

NWSL+ is the National Women’s Soccer League’s own free, ad-supported streaming app, built on Endeavor Streaming technology. Sign up with an email and you can watch live matches, replays and highlights from every game across more than 130 countries. The 2026 season grew to 16 teams, including new clubs Denver Summit FC and Boston Legacy FC. In the United States many marquee fixtures sit with partners like Prime Video and ESPN, so NWSL+ carries only the leftover live games at home. A VPN simply changes your location.

The Inner Circle is the official streaming home of ONE Championship, the Singapore-based Asian combat promotion run by Group ONE Holdings. It carries live cards across MMA, Muay Thai, kickboxing and submission grappling, including the Friday-night ONE Friday Fights from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium, ONE Fight Night events, numbered shows, plus replays and a deep archive. As of June 2026 it runs as a global subscription. Be aware that the platform applies strict VPN checks at purchase and during playback, and blacks out events where local broadcasters hold the live rights, so what you can watch live depends on the country you connect from.

RugbyPass TV is World Rugby’s own free, ad-supported streaming service, run out of the governing body’s Dublin headquarters and launched back in August 2023, a fortnight before that year’s World Cup kicked off. There’s no fee at all; you just create a free account and start watching. The catalogue spans the men’s and women’s Rugby World Cup, WXV, the Pacific Nations Cup, the U20 Championship and HSBC SVNS sevens plus qualifiers, topped up with more than 10,000 hours of archive and World Rugby Studios originals. One catch: individual fixtures get blacked out wherever a local broadcaster holds the rights, such as Stan in Australia or Peacock in the States.

Tennis TV is the official live streaming home of the ATP Tour, men’s professional tennis, run by ATP Media out of Wimbledon in London. It carries every ATP Masters 1000, ATP 500 and ATP 250 event, plus the Nitto ATP Finals and the Next Gen ATP Finals, adding up to more than 2,500 matches a year and over 40,000 hours of replays in the archive. One subscription works across 200 plus territories, everything streams in HD, and a spoiler-free mode keeps results hidden until you press play. What you won’t find here are the four Grand Slams or the women’s WTA tour.

TrillerTV, the service once known as FITE, is a global home for combat sports and professional wrestling. It carries boxing, including the bare-knuckle promotion BKFC, which it streams exclusively, alongside MMA and the striking action of Muay Thai and kickboxing through GLORY. Wrestling fans get GCW, NJPW, TNA, MLW and ROH, most of it live as it happens. The platform runs more than 1,000 live events a year. Operated by Flipps Media under Triller Group, it is available almost anywhere, though individual cards can carry regional blackouts. You choose how to watch: a free ad-supported tier, the TrillerTV+ subscription, or a one-off pay-per-view.

UEFA.tv is UEFA’s official free streaming service, available worldwide once you create a free account. Be clear on one thing: the big live games (Champions League, Europa League, the Euros) are not shown live here, only post-match highlights. What you can watch live for free are the youth competitions (U17, U19, U21 and the Youth League), selected women’s football, futsal and the live draws, alongside an archive of classic finals, documentaries and magazine shows. The 2024 revamp brought DVR, picture-in-picture and offline downloads in up to 1080p.

VBTV (Volleyball World TV) is the official streaming service of Volleyball World, the joint venture between the FIVB and CVC Capital Partners. It carries international volleyball live and on demand: the Volleyball Nations League for men and women, the FIVB World Championships, the Beach Pro Tour, and a clutch of domestic leagues, among them Italy’s SuperLega, Poland’s PlusLiga, Japan’s SV.LEAGUE and Brazil’s Superliga. The app first launched in 2018 and was relaunched in September 2024. It is available worldwide, but matches are blacked out in markets where local broadcasters hold the rights, such as DAZN in Germany, Spain, Italy and Japan, Polsat in Poland and Globo in Brazil.

WorldSBK VideoPass is the official streaming home of the Superbike World Championship, operated by the same Madrid-based outfit behind MotoGP, the MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group. It carries every WorldSBK session live and ad-free, alongside the WorldSSP Supersport class and the rest of the 2026 support package, a season that runs across twelve rounds from Phillip Island in February to Jerez in October. There is also a deep archive of classic races to dig through whenever you fancy a rewind. Two honest caveats worth knowing: each account allows only one stream at a time, and there is no dedicated Smart TV app, so you watch in a web browser or the official WorldSBK mobile app.

Euronews is a pan-European news channel that broadcasts around the clock in 13 language editions. Watching costs nothing: it runs on ads and streams live on euronews.com/live, across the official YouTube channels and on FAST services such as Plex, Tubi and Samsung TV Plus. Expect rolling coverage of European affairs, business, technology and culture, plus documentaries and factual programming. There is no premium tier and no film or series catalogue here, just public-interest journalism. Picture quality reaches 1080p, without HDR.
